The Bland Within Lyrics

This is what I am, I can’t make it stop
No matter how much I wanna change
This is who I am and I’ve made my peace
Now the boredom can set in
I can’t make it go away
Progress made towards self-discovery
Might not be progress at all
Making light of all the banality
Might be the only recourse
Look out see life close around you
The routine becomes what you are
Look out see all the mistakes
You’ll make a hundred times more
Look out see life close around you
The routine becomes what you are
Look out see all the mistakes
You’ll be making a hundred times,
A thousand times, a million times more
This is what I am, I can’t make it stop
No matter how much I want to change
This is who I am and I’ve made my peace
Now the boredom can set in
I can’t make it go away
The same old words, the same old voice
The same old options without much choice
Now you know yourself, now you see
Just how fucked up you’re predisposed to be

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
